A movie released in North America on February 12, 2016. I think this is a successful commercial film.
Whether it is for viewers who are looking for sensual popcorn movies or those who are attracted by the title and want to seek some emotional answers, there is a value to watch.

Brief description: The plot is unconventional, the actors are also very eye-catching, the movie soundtrack is also very popular and hi, the pictures are colorful.
How to be singe? The movie gives the answer, which is to find yourself and become an independent person without dependence.

The four heroines in the play have very different personalities and different story lines. Obviously, the protagonist is Damei Alice (at first misidentified as the summer in "500 Days with Summer", but later discovered that it was in "Fifty Shades of Ash". "Lucky guy", I really think they are very similar in temperament and hairstyle). The protagonist line is Damei. A boyfriend who is going to be dating for four years in university is temporarily separated for a while, saying that he is going to find himself, but he loses his boyfriend and gains a friend and a divorced ex-boyfriend. In the end, Staying single seems to have found the main story of independent meaning.

Let’s talk about the other three women first.

As the only big fat beauty on the cover of the movie, Robin's emotional outlook is much more chic. In love, no, it should be said that in sex, she doesn't hesitate at all. She clubbing and drinking every day, and different men ONS, not seeking or even showing a complete rejection of a long-term relationship. For her, life is just having fun. She seemed to see everything, not shame for her figure, not moved by anything, and knew what she was going to do at all times. For example, when Damei sister was about to give birth, she said that there was nothing wrong with me when she was sent to the hospital. In the movie, she is exactly like a bug. The little egg in the last film, when Alice finds her home to apologize, she finds that she is actually a fat man with a full-floor mansion. Apart from being fat, what else can she be picky about? But I don't believe that in real life, there will be such people. Even if there is, I don't believe it. In the face of her true feelings, she can be so free and easy? I would rather believe that she just turned off the emotional button on her body, that's all. One day in the future, she will be like Alice, floating in her feelings, and finally finding her own meaning.

Alice's sister, a strong woman, a doctor engaged in childbirth. Disappointed in love after being cheated by her ex-boyfriend, she has never hesitated to devote herself to work since then. She intends to be single for a lifetime, but cannot resist the desire of her lover. Finally, she decides to conceive and give birth to a child through artificial insemination. After a successful pregnancy, I met a warm-hearted and wonderful muscular man who was willing to be a housewife. The two characters were molded into a perfect fit, so I started a sister-in-law relationship that seemed impossible to happen in reality. And happy ending. This storyline tells us what kind of woman needs love. :) Others, nothing said.

Finally, Lucy, one of the heroines who is totally different from the three of them, is beautiful, individual and educated, trying to screen suitable marriage partners through the Internet, and met his boss Tom in the bar wifi. Tom is a playboy. As a bar owner, he has witnessed her previous dating objects, and because of some characteristics of Lucy (maybe some unexpected behavior or Lucy's unmovedness to him), he finally fell in love with Lucy. Thoughts. I thought it was a traditional love story in which the prodigal son turned his head, but Lucy got engaged after a few unsatisfactory relationships. He also made a wonderful counterattack against Tom’s confession. The son's tom was stunned (Lucy's fiancé's counterattack was also very exciting, no wonder the two can become a pair).

After briefly talking about these three girls, I will return to the main line of the movie, the story of Alice, the heroine of the four girls.
—————————————————————————————————————————

When she graduated from college, she was selfish and selfish The boyfriend who has been in love with the university for four years said, “Let’s separate temporarily. I want to find myself. I want to know what it's like to be alone.” The boyfriend had to agree.

Then when she played enough as a "temporary single", that is, when she was awakened by her gun friend Tom (yes, that is the playboy bar owner Tom who liked Lucy above), when she wanted to go back to her college boyfriend, She thought her boyfriend was still waiting for him, but found out that her boyfriend had become an ex-boyfriend. Her boyfriend had found a new love, and everything could not go back.

She was very sad, very sad, and didn't know how to face the embarrassment of being single. When she cried and said whether I would be single for a lifetime, and when I was old and dead, I would have to wait 8 weeks before the body was found. Her sister teased her not to read too much "Single Diary" and "Sex and the City". Those are all deceitful, and the movie is a bit dark about "Sex and the City" and "Single Diary". So after being encouraged by my sisters, I began to want to get rid of the state of being single, to challenge my comfort zone, and to meet a new guy at the graduate reception~ As a result, I met a rich man with a daughter, and my hopes fell through. After witnessing the closeness of his ex-boyfriend and his current girlfriend on the night of the Christmas party, he walked alone into the street and met this man with a daughter but his wife has died. After three months of dating, the two broke up because he couldn't let go of his dead wife. .

Finally, on the night of the hostess Alice’s birthday party, her best friend Robin dramatically invited these three men who had appeared in her life to appear at the party at the same time. Alice was panicked and wondered how to face it. Finally, when she was confused and infatuated with her ex-boyfriend, the ex-boyfriend confided that she wanted to say goodbye to her before getting married. She suddenly woke up like a saint and was awakened by her best friend Robin. Yes, she has never had an ego in love. When others like her, she accepts her wholeheartedly and is unable to extricate herself from falling into love.

She began to realize the self she really wanted to pursue. She began to exercise, began to study the things that she was not good at in life, zip around to rely on herself, read books, go to find her best friend Robin and reconcile, do what she has always wanted to do, such as mountain climbing to watch the sunrise. She no longer depends on others to live. She has power in her heart. The last scene of the movie is the scene of her climbing alone to watch the sunrise. I think her look back is very beautiful.

She said, maybe you have been single for a while, or for a lifetime, but you have that moment when you no longer have any emotional connection with others, you are free. You belong to yourself.

I think that every person who has experienced a failed relationship, if you think about it clearly and understand it, will find that getting rid of dependence and becoming a person with independent personality is the only way to happiness.
